This is my first time trying out a wrap for any of my devices. Any input on which one of these is better?

Neither they're a PITA and hard to get lined up and usually end in imperfections with a side of frustrations

Is this even after following their instructions? The videos of them showing how to do it sections at a time makes it look "easier" than just freely placing it on the phone. But I have no idea, lol, I've never tried it.

Do you get it with the Apple cutout? I like the look of it, but does the wrap start to peel or chip there after a while?

Yes, I prefer it with the Apple cutout.

And no, the skin is pretty strong and is still in perfect condition even after a few months.

Yeah their videos make it look easy; I agree with that. I've installed half dozen over the years and while I've gotten better I don't have access to walk over to shelf to pick up a new one free of charge lol. I'm sure with practice and experience it's a breeze; I was never able to install one "perfect" like they show in all my experience lol

Just ordered a Slickwraps at the beginning of the year. It should be here Monday. I'm probably not going to put it on until there's less snow. I had a Slickwraps on my Nexus 6P that held up freaking awesome. I loved it, and it added way more grip being a carbon fiber wrap. I might have to order another carbon fiber as my new wrap is a smooth one

I'm personally a fan of UKarbon. Ive got 2 skins from the so far and the quality has been outstanding. Precision cut and very sticky with 3M. Plus i can give you a 20% off coupon code if you like ;)

Give them a look HERE

Says the product is currently being redesigned. Are you trying to fleece us?

This one should be here today.

And definitely considering picking this one up as well.

Still wish I could find a clear case to fit over the wrap. Slickwraps never messaged me back about the Spigen case.

They say their clear fits over their brand of skins. I ordered this case and a few skins last week against my better judgement lol. Maybe it would work with Slickwraps?

I've purchased from both dbrand and slick wraps. They are fairly easy to apply if you are use to doing them. I mostly by from dbrand but u don't like the new cutouts they did. If your going to be using a case I'd suggest not using a skin.

This is the concrete skin from dbrand. The only thing I didn't like was the rounding ends. I do believe I have a pic posted somewhere of the carbon fiber on the 6.

Also in my opinion slick wraps (had one in my apple watch) do better around the curves than dbrand.

I'd just need a case for work (12 hours, 3x a week) because that seems to be the place I drop my phone the most. I typically don't drop phones but I've dropped it twice at work since getting the phone in October.

Couldn't find the carbon one but I still have the skins at home. Here is the black leather and yellow.
